Taylor was originally scheduled to face Amanda Serrano in a huge rematch but an injury to the Puerto Rican halted proceedings.
So in steps undisputed champ at 140lbs Cameron, who has been lobbying for a clash with Taylor for much of her career.
Taylor is already the undisputed champion at lightweight, and repeating the same achievement in the weight class above would put her into her own stratosphere of greatness.
But Cameron is a tricky foe, and represents some very different in-ring problems for Taylor, who fought brilliantly to win a close decision against Serrano in New York one year ago.
And is all takes place in Dublin, where Taylor is fighting for the very first time in her professional career.

What has been said?
Taylor said: “Once Serrano pulled out this was the natural fight to make.
“It’s two undefeated, reigning undisputed world champions going up against each other and I believe that’s the first time that’s ever happened in the modern era of the sport.
“People have been talking about this fight for a long time now so I’m delighted it’s happening and I’m looking forward to becoming a two-weight undisputed champion.”
While Cameron added: “There’s a lot of respect there. But this is my career and my legacy and I’m coming to win.
“Katie is pound-for-pound the best women’s boxer there is and if I can win I can walk away from boxing one day and think ‘I took out the best there is’.”
